My first FJ40. This picture was taken in 1986 and my buddy and I had just returned from 4 wheeling in our cruisers. We used to beat the crap out of these trucks and keep going until one of us got really stuck or something major broke. I can honestly say that rarely something broke, but we did get really stuck a bunch of times.
My FJ was a 1978 that I bought in 85. I learned to work on cars by taking this truck apart with a minimal supply of cheap tools in the driveway.
Ahh the days you could buy a great FJ40 for $4500.......
